21L1LT,4 A.‘. 7 1) GIZMALTeIi? MAIL. GIBRALTAR, SEPT. 19.—This morning the King fisher Sloop cf War arrived from Malta, having her Highness the Princess of ORLEANS on board: Her Highness made her escape with great difficulty from some village near Barcelona, on its being attacked by the French, and arrived at Malta aboUt three weeks ago. SErr. 20.--Thi s d ay a M a il arr i ved f rom Li s b on, with the first certain accounts of the terms. of the Convention agreed upon with General JUNOT, for the evacuation of Portugal by the French army. The intelli gence has produced a very different sensation to that of DupoNT's surrender to the gallant CASTA 4 N os. .Instead of the usual rejoicings after a vietory, t he utmost gloom and dissatisfaction prevails in every countenance in the Garrison. After hearing of the glorious victory over the French on the 21st of Au gust, great preparations were making here and at Algeziras for a splendid illumination and rejoicings, which were to take place on the surrender of the French artny, which was daily expected. Now not a gun will be fired or a candle lighted on the occit ai )n, either here or in Spain. SEPT. 21.—This day the Glorioso, a Spanish. Line of Battle Ship, of 80 guns, arrived in the Bay,, from Malaga, on her way. to Cadiz. She saluted Rear- Admiral PURV/S'S Flag as she passed, which was • immediately returned. SEPT. 22.—The Packet from Malta arrived this morning, in sixteen days passage. Brigadier-General DISNEY and his Staff are on board. By the Packet we learn, that Sir Joss STEWART and ten thousand -of the line.t troops of the army at Sicily were ready to embark at an hour's notice ; and it was expected that a powerful diversion `would soon be made in the kingdom of Naples, where 'the natives were all anxious to follow the glorious example set them by the Spanish nation. Th e F ame and Apollo sailed tivis day, to join the Fleet off Toulon. SETT. 23.—The letters from every part of Spain (peak in the most indignant terms of the ignominious Convention concluded with the French at Lisbon.. I inclose you Copies of two of them, received by peo ple of the highest respeCtability here, and written by persons who, from their situations, have every means of being well informed. The British Govern- It 'ut, I am happy to add, escape censure-; but the evils expeeted to result from the Conventi o n are not the l ess regretted on that account. -qititz, SEPT. 17.—Yesterday a Russian Officer arrived Jere express from Lisbon, by way of Bada i°4, on his way to Trieste, with dispatches to the 44Viao Government. By him we have learned'the authentic accounts of the extraordinary terms which have been granted to General JUNOT anct the French army under his command in Portugal, It is impos sible to describe the amazement and indignation they tAve excited in this Country, where they are reck oned far more degrading to the British national ho -3.1„,,0ur, than th ose w hi c h LINIERS dictated to General WH ITELOCKE, at Buenos Ayres. The same opinion respeEting them prevails at Madrid, where they are reckoned in the highest degree disgraceful and impo litic, as 'by this means between twenty and thirty thousand of the finest French troops will be sent back to France, from whence they will soon enter Spain'-again ; so that with respect to the final issue of the grand contest in which we are - engaged, they Nvoit!.(do us infinitely more mischief by being sent out a mugal tO j o i n the grand French arrrsy advancing ' gainst t hi s Country, than if they had been suffered to remain where they were till the fate of this cam paign was decided, MADRIO, S EPX.IS.—The Gazette Extraordinary yesterday announced the grateful news of the de liverance of the Marquis DE-ROmatea and ten thou sand of Our gallant Country nien from the jaws of the !army, throu g h the zeal and intrepidity of the Bri ,t2,s.h Navy, which diffused the most universal joy in "tals Capital.- The same Gazette alsb cone.ined a vommu nication, by or d er o f t h e English Corsunati ‘lier in Chi e f i n Portugal, of the Capitulation con ctiuded with G enera l J uNor, for the evacuation of o e la L C ountry by th e F renc h A rmy , i n consequence y~ v iEtories of the 17th and 21st Ult.

He re ceived a severe wound in an engagement with the French in 1794, whilst he commanded the African Regiment, whereof he was Colonel. In 1798 he 'was bani s h ed from Madrid along with 16 other tOf throegh the intrigues of the PRINCE of the rEACE. Advice s had reached Malta on the sth ult. that the Austrian .-Ports are shut against American Ves sels, and even against their own, if laden with colonial produce. In consequence of this inforina liar), six American Ships, whicli bad arrived full freighted at Malta, on their way to Trieste, were about to discharge their cargoes at the first of these ports. PORTUGUESE PAPERS. LISBON", SEPT. 27.—The Patriarchal College hav ing ordered that on the evening of the nth inst. Te Ileum should be sung, and that on, the following day his Excellency the Principal, Dean MIRA NpA, should celebrate Mass, to return thanks to the Most High, tor the blessings derived froM the re-establish . ment of the Government of our August Prince— .ordaininab also, that all the P ar i s hes of this Patriar. chate should do the same, his Excellency, with the whole Patriarchal Body, hastened to tulfil thiFfsacred duty with that joy and satiifadion which became a Church so much benefited and enriched by the li berality of the Sovereigns of this kingclir: This capital was illuminated for nine . nights 'suc cessively ; the three first nights in consequence of the invitation of the Senate, on account of the reito ration of our legitimate Government ; and the illu minations were continued by the inhabitants of Lisbon the other six nights, as a spontaneous effu sion of their joy on the occasion. It might be justly said, that these nine days (from the 15th to the 24th) presented one uninterruptefl scene of the most cor dial pleasure and , reciprocal congratulation, on ac count of having shaken off -the weighty and insup; portable yoke of the French. The night was filled up with the loud and repeated cries of Viva Portugal, Inglaterra, e Hespana ! whose union has produced this memorable occurrence, and from which may be justly expeeled new and multiplied triumphs over the enemies of religion, good morals, and social order. ,In Spain the spirit of patriotism has been very a&ive in furnishing military preparations. most noble donations of money, and other effeels, have been made for the public service. We already know that in many parts of Portugal this noble ex ample of public spirit has been imitated. An event which has caused herd great - satisfa6ion, was the restoration of their arms to the Spanish troops who were disarmed and made priSoners by the French. On the ifith inst. arrived in this capi tal General Don .GREGORIO . LAJUNA, Chief of the Staff of the Army of EOremadura, accompanied by Colonels Don FEDERICO MORETTI, and Don PER-. trANpo Soto, with their Aids-de-Camp, &c. in . order to congrat u l a t e th e G overnors o f this kingdom, and their excellencies Sir -H. DALRYMPLE, General in Chief of.the English Army, and Sir Charles COT TON, the British Admiral, on account-of the viao ries gained over the common enemy, and at the same time to take charge of the - Spanish troops who had been disarmed and imprisoned by the French. —Having adjusted the mode of restoring back the arms, horses, and artillery, which the Spanish troops had brought into this kingdom, -the 22d was fixed upon as the day when this delivery should take with all the magnificence which an ad so solemn required. CORUNNA, OCT. 3.—ln consequence of the dis patch received on the 27. th ult. by the Supreme Junta, from General BLAKE, in which he commu nicated the fortunate result cif the actions in the en virons of Burgos and Bilboa, it has been determined that there shall be forwarded with the greatest expo- dition a-battering train of eighteen pieces of artillery, which are to be embarked in less - than four days' on board two frigates, the Magdalena and the Ve,; gan za, They are to consist ()flour twenty-fbur pound- ; ers, six of sixteen, six of twelve, and two howitzers of nine inches in diameter, with all their Equipages, balls, grenades, chain-shot, and three hundred rounds of gunpowder ; together with cordage, scat ing4adders, and other things requisite for a siege of short duration. There , have also been colleaed here, -in order to ha embarked on board three mer chant vessels, for the field-train of the same. army, a vast quantity of . ammunition and cartridges, both for the artillery and musketry. Knowing th e ex _ aaness and dispatch with Which. these equipments have been prepared, we ought to give due praise to the individuals commissioned for that purpose. by the ' royal corps of artillery, who have- fulfilled on this as on other occasions, the wishes of the .Pudic and the orders of the Serene Junta. We publish . this that all May be aware that nothing is ()muted which can conduce to the happy issue of the pUblic cause. COEUNNA, OCT. 6.—The most Serene Govern - tnen=' having received on the 3d of October; a courier, from General BLAKE, With a dispatch, dated the 27th ult. informing them that the centre of the enemy's army was falling back upon Vittoria (a movement which is confirmed by the subjoined dispatch of the 30th, received by another courier) ; and that upon their retreat, our, army were preparing' to extend their advanced posts, to occupy some advantageous positions ; and understanding that unfavourable re ports were spread in this city, stating that their Highnesses had no authentic advices, they Were pleaed, in contradiciion to these rumours, to publish these advices with a noble frankness ; and on the 3d they issued a notice, containing information which atilards well-founded hopes of greater advantages. The retreat of the enemy from Vittoria was a feint, intended to divert .the attention of our army, whilst, With thrice our numbers, they were to proceed againit Bilboa, which they accordingly did, the whole of the centre corps having been detached upon this service, under ahe command of Marshal NEY. But the plan which NEY had formed was disconcerted by the vigilance of the MarquiS Del PORTAZGO, who, aware of the superior force 'that. threatened him, marched off from Bilboa with all his troops and artillery, and without the loss of a single man, tookjip a position at Bahnaseda. Here General RIQUELURE, after repulsing the enemy, joined him with the division under. his command. These particulars are confirmed by the annexed' dis patch, which is published by order of their High nesses, that the public may not entertain the slightest anxiety or apprehension, but, on 'the contrary, the expeaation that this temerity on the part of the enemy will lead to the surrender of NEY, and the army with which he has . entered Bilboa, General BLAKE having _fallen back with the whole of his army, and. taken an advantageous position on the adjacent heights. TO THE GOVERNMENT OF GALICIA. " MOST SERENE SEIGNORS, " The enemy's centre corps, which, as I have informed you in my dispatch of the 27th, had march ed to Vittoria, directed its route from that city to wards Bilboa, under the command of the General iJ Chief Marshal NEy; for the purpose of &Ding upon our fourth division, with a force of about three to . . one. The latter, however., bipp9titinely, evacuated the. place, and retreated w ith t h e ar till er y an d bag „ ; gage in the best order t o B a l mase d a , i n w hi c h p l ac e, or its environs, they still remain. The third ,divi sion advanced the sane day,-as tar as Puna de Ordu i na, to the assistance of the fourb, in defiance of a column of the enemy that obserVed them at a very hurt distance from their line of march, and between . whose advanced parties and ours some tiring tonic place.

CALLBECK, to. GEORGE IRVING,'Esq. a very re spectable Merchant. The weddings are to be so lemnized. to -morrow morning, and Mr. DELG4RN es and' his bride will .immediately after sail to Pielon with Sir Isoc COFFIN. It is somewhat singular, that these young Ladies, who have been seen and admired in the most fashionable circles,in Great Bri tain and the States of America, should return with out husbands, and, yet find them on their native island. Sir ISAAC CdFFIN Was saluted On his landingwith 13 'guns from the battery, 'which was returned by the .Schooner with.eleven. He has been entertained by all the principal inhabitants, the Governor; General FANNING, the Chief Justice COLCLOUGH, Colonels NOIR, TOWNSIIEND, HOLLAND, &C. There iS an intelligent American Gentleman* here, from South Cqolina, with whom we have had much conversa• tion ,relative to the' Embargo; he is decidedly of opinion that it will not be taken off whilSt JEFFER SON continues President, and, while he does ; it is thought he will have a large majority in Congress in hi 4 interest. lie speaks of its effeCt in America with horror and detestation. Arrived this morning the Ship Alfred, Captain BEATSON, at the North side of the Island, from Ply mouth; as did yesterd a y th e 'Brig Britannia, Capt. STREET, from Ply mouth,, last from Boston, in 'I3 days. He confirms, in part, the. account of the American Gentlemarr. The Officers at Boston would allow him to bring nothing from thence, and would scarcely suffer him to get fresh provisions whilst in hitrbour.

The Captain of an American vessel arrived at Castro, after having been taken by a French Pri vateer, and re-captured by two Spanish Row-boata,, writes to his agent as follows, uncle?: the date of Sept, 27 :—" Yesterday an immense number of the inhabitants of Bilboa, who had escaped from that town in consequence of its re-occupation by the French, under the command of Marshal . Isliv, arrived here in the greatest diStress. - They imme diately received every possible assistance, and com fortable quarters were provided for them. Their stay here will not be long, as a numerous army has already been cc'lh'&ed, and is about to march from hence to re-occupy Bilboa, which Will be effaded without difficulty." POLiCE. , . MARtHOROTreH:STEEET.—A man named Peppiel, who was brill:::,ltt up on Monday on ,t'' , • t • f;tr„ of Starke, a Revenue 'officer, for wolling,at a dap" destine still in Devonshire Mews, on Sunday, was again brought • up . yesterday, and the evidence of Monilay repeated, from which it appealed, that the officer (Starke; had.proceetfed to the place, in-cop. sequence of information he had received, and peep= ing through the key-hole, saw the Defendant, as he conceived, at work in the ,operation of distilling-. Not being able to obtain admittance by rapping at the door, he had, with the aid of those who attend ed him, forced it •open, found all the' implements and materials of distillery ; and the prisoner, who instantly made his escape, was pursued 'and taken, and upon these grounds he prayed a conviction. Mr. ALLEY, who 'attended for the Defendant, argued, that a convidion of his client ought not to take place, tlider the circumstances alledged, by the section of the Aet on which the present claim °lcon-. vietion was supported, and in which - the Legislature had wisely guarded against the eagerness and impe tuosity of any informer or Revenue Officer, eager to seize his prey, apd not always very' scrupulous ab out the means, whether just or unjust. It ..was not, therefore, fitting, that the. Plaintiff, on the instant, with a prize and a penalty both_ in view, should, under the influence of his avidity, transgress the line of his duty. 'That duty required of him; that upon his receiving. information of a clandestine distillery at work in any- particular place, he should apply to a Magistrate or a Surveyor of Excise, for a warrant to search and seize, and to aft upon that authority only. In the present case, however, the Officer acted merely upon his own discretion, and proceeded without any legal warrant, to force open his nigh bones house, and to seize and imprison the Plaintiff, who, he contended, with deference, was not legally brought before the Bench, and ought nut to be con victed. The SOLICITOR for the Excise Office shortly re plied, that the fad being brought home t 6 the De , fendant, all that remained for the Magistrate was to decide upon that tact. He could very easily , refute the objection of the Learned Gentleman, by advert ing to other A6ts which took cognizance of this spe cies-of offence; and on which it , was expressly laid down, that' an Officer of Excise might proceed to force ppen premises under such circumstances, with or - without the warrant of a Magistrate, which he Was sure the*Magistrate himself would see was un necessary, _where information was received by the. Officer of a clandestine still attually at work.. Mr. CoNANT.agreed with the Solicitor, • and con viated the Defendant in the penalty of 301. ; in de, fault of the payment whereof, he must be sent to the House of Correction for six months. The Defend ant Pleaded inability, and took, of. course, the al ternative of commitment. BOW- S TREET.—Monday evening, a lespeaable pastry-cook, who resides in the neighbouritoo , i of Holborn, was brought by Lavender, beforeMr: J us tiee READ, charged with asasulting and atteti,ptiog to commit a rape on a child, only eight years of age, to whom he was related, under the following circtitristan . ces :—A short time since the father and mother, who are cousins to the prisoner, went to dine and . wend the- day with the prisoner and his family, and took the child with them. They all re mained in a room until it was dark, at wheal time the prisoner took some indecent liberties with the child; she afterwards went into the yard ; the pri soner then contrived to follow her unoh4erved, and made an assault upon her. The circumstance was . discovered by the child complaining of being ill. The Prisoner denied the principal part of the charge, and said the girl behaved. in an indecent manner td him. Mr. READ very properly observed, that he then had a duty to perfor►rn—he ought to have told her father and mother, but he did not.—The Prisoner has a wife and six children. Ho was admitted to bail, to answer the charge at the next Middlesex Sessions. Fizty, alias the Young Ruffian, the pugilist, WO charged with having won, at a game of cards,' in a fraudulent manner,. upwards of I 001 , . from Mr. Dale, in the town of-Huntingdon, during the late races at that place. The game was Whist, but the cards . were placed in such a manner, that the Ruffian and another sharp won to a certainly. The Prisoner was admitted to bail, himself in tool. and two. sureties in 501. each. On Tuesday last Peter Peddie, horse-dealer, at the Gibbet Toll, near Edinburgh, was committed to the To'booth, Dundee, accused of violating the person of Agnes Towson, while on the road from Edin burgh to.. Kilconquhar, to visit her mother. The Prisoner 'has a wife and large family. The young woman, it is understood, is since dead ; in conse quence of the barbarous treatment she received. Two men, the one notorious on th e tow n , an d the other a reputable young man, Clerk in a house of 'consequence, have been for some days under ex. amMation,on a charge of extorting tnoney from a Gentleman of fortune, by accusing him with an abominable offence. To-morrow the. prisoners standing fully commit ted in the several prisons in the County of Middle sex, and the City of London, on various charges of felony, will be removed to Newgate, to take their trials nt the ensuing sessions, which will commence on Wednesday next, at Justice Hall, in the Old Bailey. THE COMET.—LEWES, OCT. 17.—The appear, ance of the Comet,yesterday evening, at eight P. M. was nearly as mentioned in our lad. Its situation in the heavens may be found in a very simple way, by cutting a common playing card, froth corner to corner, lengthways, or diagonally, through the cen tre, and applying the longest side of either piece (the shortest side being placed on the left) so as to bring it to coincide, in a direct line, with the Ple iades and the planet Jupiter. The other two sides converging to a point, will shew th e Comet visibly to the naked eye. CORN-E' XCHANGE,OCT.
